DOWNTOWN | Development News
This will highlight some of the new development projects in downtown LA. Most of these projects are either approved, planned or in development, however some of these project's status is unknown... but are possible given the revitalization of downtown and the increase in demand for both residential and office space.
In addition to these projects there are many adaptive re-use projects of historic buildings being renovated as lofts/condos/apartments. These projects are numerous and at various stages. As new projects are added or new renderings are available I will update this post.

Wow! Thanks for posting the pics. Some of these developments Ive never even heard before or seen before. Amazing how much is going on in just downtown LA alone. Especially looking forward to the Police Headquarters and the High school which are architecturally fantastic.
On the 3rd California plaza pic, which tower are we supposed to be looking at? Is it the one on the far right? |

No problem! As for Calif Plaza - The tall white tower on the left (foreground).
If all these project get built, we're looking at 45+ projects in total!!! Also, there are probably just as many adaptive reuse projects... its crazy, some people don't realize how much is going on in such a small area. |

It looked like there was an abundant amount of Office towers in there, are they needed or are they building them for status?

This is LA. It would take winter in Hell to get the city to pay for something. My guess is that all of them are private developments of rich companies trying to get richer. Except for of course, the courthouse and police department. |

If for some chance L.A. gets the Summer Olympics again, do you think the 755 tower will be closer to being built? Since it is to incorporiate a hotel?

I doubt it Moneyman. They'd probably lose more money forcing it through early , then if they just the construction go ahead as planned. BUt LA is not going to get the Summer Olympics.

New pics of the Lennar/KB home towers are up temporarily. If someone has a photo account, you can post it here permanently as I don't know if ViceCityguy, who started the thread, updates the original post anymore.

Thanks for this thread, vicecityguy. it's looking like i imagined, Los Angeles is going to join the mixeduse tower club. i find the 755 tower proposal highly interesting, narrow and sleek, but as tall as the 777 tower (700'+) my floor count is 54 (to plaza) and at least 6 under (tho i'm betting 8) i believe there is about 650,000 sq. ft. left on the original development permit,. visability is a major factor with this tower, (this would look outstanding with the figuroa at 8th tower behind, from the 110 FWY).....also cal plaza tower 3 at least 60 storys, (it's enterence on hill st. is at least 200' below cal plaza tower 1's entery on grand ave.) i wonder mixeduse also?......and if you look to the right of the model two res. towers in the 30 to 45 story range (next to metropolitan tower, 22 storys)...... also i'm going to search for more info on the sci-arc towers project. do we have a location on this one ???.... its looking great for LA this next few years!

Your welcome! As for the location of the sci-arc towers... right behind the sci-arc school there is a parking lot... that is the site. In the past, students of sci-arc used to park there for free but the the developers purchased the lot and put up a fence. I agree, I can't wait for some of these projects to break ground! LA will look and feel different within the next few years! |

BADTZ, since i want to move DT in the next couple of years, i wanted to know how your experience is going. When did you move in? what part do you live in? and how has the area changed since you moved there? Good or bad? Hows the nightlife? of course you dont have to answer but i will greatly appreciate it.

Greetings LosAngelesSportsFan,
I moved here a little over two years ago. I've lived at two different locatioons: Location #1: Broadway/3rd St. (near Angel's Flight/Grand Central Market) The area was very nice, but the one huge drawback in my case was that I lived facing broadway, and the street noise from the buses were driving me insane.  Otherwise, the area was perfectly fine with me. Right in the heart of the Historic Core, and above the Million Dollar theatre.Location #2: 7th/Los Angeles (nearby Flower Mart) The location is in the very north/west corner of the Fashion District. At the new loft project [SanteeCourt.com]....... The location is not bad per-se, could be better, but it's not bad at all. Very quiet, and overall, a very ambitious and exciting project (the new Rite-Aid just finished below one of the buildings, a 6-9 restaurant food court is in the works, a gym, dry cleaners and a food court, are all in the works). The nightlife in downtown (excluding the loft/house parties in the Arts District) is pretty low at the moment, but it's picking up. There's parties that occassionally occur in downtown (for instance, Giant has had their New Year's party in Downtown for the past 3 years. This year, they're blocking off FOUR blocks of downtown to have a big 12,000 capacity outdoor party). Other than the one-off events, there's a couple new bars that are being developed at the moment. The most recent FINISHED project is the Golden Gopher on 8th street in between Olive and Grand I believe. There's one that's being built (by the same developers) above the Clifton's Cafeteria on Broadway. As far as permanent club locations, there's countless, but usually the clubs are not consistently held there, again, only one-off events (though they happen fairly often). If there's anything else, please let me know
